Bittersweet chocolate: I like to use Baker's Bittersweet chocolate.

Granulated sugar

Unsalted butter

Vanilla extract

Large eggs

All purpose flour

Baking powder

Baking soda

Salt

Cooking spray: I recommend using a regular cooking spray without flour.

Dark corn syrup: this helps bring the brownie pops together, I prefer to use Karo brand.

Chopped walnuts: I prefer to buy pre chopped walnuts to prevent any over chopping.

🔪 Instructions

For the brownies

1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate on high for 30 seconds, stirring after 15 seconds, microwave chocolate chips in 15 second intervals until melted.
3. Add sugar, vanilla, egg, and egg white to the melted chocolate, mixing with an electric mixer, until well blended.
4. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to chocolate mixture, stirring until just blended.
5. Spoon brownie batter into 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray.
6. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely pan of brownies on wire rack. This will take about 2 - 3 hours to cool completely.

For the brownie pops

2. Gradually corn syrup to the brownie crumbles and process until mixture just forms a ball.

To dip in chocolate:

1. Place candy coating in microwaveable bowl and microwave per package instructions.
2. Dip pops into melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate drip to fall off into the bowl. Dredge brownie pops in nuts and place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set.

💭 Tips

The recipe originally calls for using the same bittersweet chocolate for coating. Since I have issues with even, smooth coating when making pops, I found a candy coating made by Ghirardelli that is smooth and so easy to use when dipping pops! If you can find this, I highly recommend it!
